How to Make Apple Buttered Pork Loin
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place pork loin, fat side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
- Roast uncovered for 2 hours and 30 minutes.
- After 2 hours and 30 minutes, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the pork loin. Continue roasting until the thermometer reaches 160-165°F (71-74°C) for medium doneness or 170°F (77°C) for well-done.
- While the pork loin roasts, prepare the glaze: In a medium bowl, gradually whisk together 1/2 cup apple butter, 1/4 cup peanut butter, 1 tablespoon orange zest, and 2 tablespoons orange juice until smooth.
- Once the pork loin reaches the desired internal temperature, brush the apple butter mixture generously over the entire surface.
- Return the pork loin to the oven and continue roasting for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the glaze is caramelized and the pork loin is nicely browned.
